The inaccuracies from a baseball standpoint were so numerous it makes me wonder if they were perhaps intentional.

I think the filmmaker was European and had never been to a baseball game. Need to check imdb when I get home. I personally couldn't stand the movie, but did love it at the end when there's some sort of emotional reunion (was it Snipes and his son), and everyone's happy.. While their teammate Kruk is lying dead, face down in the mud while none of his teammates or even emergency personnel tend to him. So classic!!

I forgot about the movie "Cobb". It was pretty good as well.
